- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

APPLE JAM (APPLE PIE IN A JAR)
This is apple jam - something you can't seem to buy - spiced to resemble the taste of most apple pies. Usually there is enough pectin in the apples to make it jell without adding anything. You can use 1 package of pectin (such as SureJel®), if desired.

APPLE PIE IN A JAR
This is delicious. It can be eaten straight out of the jar, baked in a pie shell, served over ice cream, etc. It is tricky to NOT make a mess, but it is so worth the stickiness!

Steps:
- Heat 7 1 quart jars while peeling the apples, I pour lemon juice on them to keep them from browning. Once the apples are peeled mix the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and water in a large kettle. Heat this over high heat, stirring almost constantly. Bring to a boil, remove the jars from the boiling water and fill with the raw apples. When the sauce is ready it will be clear and thick. Pour the sauce over the apples in the jars, using a knife around the edges to release air bubbles. Fill to 3/4 of an inch from the top. Wipe the rims, place lids on jars, boil in a boiling water bath for twenty minutes. Sometimes they do ooze after being removed from the heat, these I put in the refrigerator and they are eaten first!

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are good for baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. A combination of tart and sweet apples will give the jam the best flavor.
- Peel and core the apples: This is the most time-consuming part of making apple jam, but it's important to do it properly. Use a sharp knife to remove the peel and core, and be sure to cut the apples into small pieces so they will cook evenly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the jam from burning. A large pot is also important, as the mixture will bubble up and expand as it cooks.
- Cook the jam over medium heat: This will allow the flavors to develop and the jam to thicken properly. Stir the mixture frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Add pectin if necessary: If you are using apples that are low in pectin, you may need to add some commercial pectin to help the jam thicken. Follow the directions on the package of pectin for the amount to use.
- Test the jam for doneness: The easiest way to test the jam for doneness is to spoon a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger across it, it is ready.
- Can the jam: If you want to store the jam for longer than a few weeks, you can can it. Follow the directions in the recipe for canning instructions.
Conclusion:
Apple jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, pancakes, waffles, or yogurt. It can also be used as a filling for pies and tarts. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own apple jam at home. So next time you have a basket of apples, give this recipe a try!
